Next afternoon in the room Rao sat silently looking at this new Intel which occupied his mind with various strategies.
Ajay Singh, sitting across from him, was already scanning the next set of documents.

"We can't let them scatter, sir. We've hit them hard, but the others will be on high alert now. They'll move fast."
"Which is why we need to move faster," Rao replied, sliding a file toward Ajay. "We've got a lead on the second one, Arif Chaudhry. One of our ground sources has spotted him heading toward Quetta."
Ajay glanced at the file, already knowing the name.
Arif was a mastermind, responsible for orchestrating attacks along the Indian border for years.
